Spiced Tempeh Tacos

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the tempeh

   • Place the whole tempeh blocks in a saucepan with enough water to cover.
   • Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. This step removes any bitterness.
   • Drain the tempeh and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, use your hands to crumble it into small, ground-meat-like pieces.
2. 2

   Cook the tempeh filling

   • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add the crumbled tempeh to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown and get slightly crispy.
   • Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the tempeh evenly.
   • Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
3. 3

   Prepare toppings and tortillas

   • While the tempeh cooks, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds.
